Thirty-something Nina is a food writer who meets Max via a dating app. Their romance is going along swimmingly until one day he disappears – ghosting her. Meanwhile Nina’s relationship with her pregnant friend Katherine is under strain, her ex is getting married, and her dad is succumbing to dementia.

Ghosts is a cleverly observed and sharply written story about the trials of modern love, friendship shifts and aging parents.
